Typing Chinese and installing IBus on Debian Jessie

For typing Chinese characters using Cang Jie on Debian Jessie, you can type the command:

aptitude install ibus ibus-table-cangjie3

Switching input methods in IBus

The Super key (Windows key) and the space bar can be used to switch input methods. When you type in English, you can type in Chinese by holding down the Super key and space bar.

The combination of the Super key and space bar is the default on Debian Jessie. In this case, pressing the Ctrl key and the space bar do not let you switch input methods.

iBus and LibreOffice

I think that the following lines will help me to use iBus with LibreOffice.

iBus does not start without the following lines. I type Chinese characters with iBus.

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/ibus-daemon -d



In particular, I need the following packages:

ibus

ibus-table-cangjie3

ibus-qt4 

ibus-gtk3
